The 1951 Canadian 25-cent coin is composed of 80% silver and 20% copper, weighing 5.83 grams with a diameter of 23.62 mm, featuring a reeded edge. The obverse displays a high-relief portrait of King George VI designed by Thomas Humphrey Paget, while the reverse showcases a caribou head crafted by Emanuel Hahn. This coin was minted in a large circulation amount of approximately 8.29 million pieces by the Royal Canadian Mint, and its silver content gives it a melt value above its face value, making it valued among collectors mostly for its silver and condition. It has both high relief and low relief varieties, distinguished by details in the lettering on the obverse, with the 1951 high relief being common in proof-like conditions but rarer in regular circulation.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
